The SoundHaving a long history in the background of the Nigerian music industry Myke had to contend with some bottlenecks, chief among them being an inability to identify a music genre that would complement his gift. Simplified for the uninitiated, Myke’s music genre, Alté, is Nigerian lingo for ‘alternative’ which means freedom of expression. Alté refutes the notion that African music can be boiled down to a single monolithic genre title, as it so often is by outsiders. Although Myke spent years understudying Nigerian artistes, he alludes his music influences to western artistes such as Kanye West, Smokie, Florence Welch, Lana del rey, and SAINT JHN. Myke has been in the music and entertainment industry for years and has a piece of advice for his fans and younger ones.
